Hello There!
My name is Suz, and I really like fall, pumpkins, and drinking. This is the first day in a 31 day exploration of all things pumpkin ales. Every day during October I will be drinking a different pumpkin ale and transcribing my thoughts here. I could have tried a different slice of pumpkin pie every day for 31 days, but I really didn’t want my coworkers to notice me in the office on November 1st:
Because, obviously.
You can ask yourself, why are you doing this Suz? Why? BECAUSE I CAN. I don’t have children OR a crippling drinking problem to call my own, so this how I choose to spend my evenings. This, and watching all the television shows. Just not Two and a Half men. Fuck that.
Anyhoo, this evenings Pumpkin Ale of choice was Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale.
^That guy.
In reality it tastes ok, kind of spicy (as much spice as a Coors Light manufactured beer can give) and I definitely got a hint of pumpkin as I sipped. It was pretty chilled due to the sweet sweet relief of my refrigerator and I enjoyed it. But when do you not enjoy a Blue Moon? Never, the answer is never.
Classic
Was it the best? Well I don’t know as this was only Day 1. But I’ll be real, it was OK and as I watched hour 2 of The Voice (not the best hour) it went down smooth. So I’ll give it (currently devising a totally arbitrary form of point scoring):
7 out of 10 pumpkins! BRAVO COORS! YOU MASS MARKETED A TOTALLY DRINKABLE PUMPKIN ALE FOR THOSE OF US WHO SHOP PRIMARILY AT HARRIS TEETER. (Or Giant, whatever.)
Welp, that’s all I have for you this evening, the Nationals just clinched the playoffs with a Braves loss so there is celebration to be felt in the air of D.C. tonight. Stay tuned for tomorrow when I try out my second of of 31 beers: Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat!
For the love of God let him win
Peace out,
